Nordea case

As a large, multinational company, Nordea is currently undergoing a digital transformation. A brand renewal exercise was done roughly 2 years ago and we will unveil our observations on how a complimentary design language is essential to ensure a coherent and consistent customer experience across Nordea’s different product segments and offerings. Nordea’s new digital design language site will be more than just a background story and design system. With all the different design disciplines included in the creation of the digital design language, we will use it as a way of leveraging design thinking within the company, to initiate and continue communication across the natural forming silos and to show how design truly compliments agile ways of working.
